This one is really great cable. In past I've used simple cables and I was think, they are OK, but when I get this one I saw the difference. Ordinary MIC cable I would rate 5 out of 10, but for this one I will gave 8 points of 10. Why only 8 points? Because I admit that it is always possible to find something better. The difference is especially audible when using ribbon or dynamic microphones. This cable has a much lower noise level. My recommendations.
